Hearthstone: Game Mechanics Changes

Hearthstone will be having mechanics changes later this month. The goal is make Hearthstone “strategically deep: a game of careful choices, calculated risks and exciting events”.

Hearthstone has a lot going on under the hood. The cause-and-effect relationships when cards are played are relatively straightforward and easy to predict, but because of the way certain events are timed, some very surprising things can happen in rare circumstances. We want cards to work the way that you guess they might—in other words, we want the game to work intuitively.

Hearthstone’s core gameplay won’t change, but what will change are some rare edge-cases.
